Spaghetti Aglio E Olio

Serves: 4

water
1 tbsp salt
1 pound rice spaghetti from Trader Joe's

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, pasta and cook pasta according to package instruction. I cooked for 15 minutes.

1/4 cup olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers
1/2 + 1/8 tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup minced parsley ( DO NOT add more than 1/2 cup)

1 and 1/2 cup pasta cooking water

Heat olive oil over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it just begins to turn golden on the edges-don't overcook it!

Add red chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds more.

Carefully add the reserved pasta cooking water to the garlic and oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and salt and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by about a third.

Add the drained pasta to the garlic sauce and toss with tongs.

Off the heat, add parsley and toss well.

Allow the pasta to rest off the heat for 5 minutes for the sauce to be absorbed.
